Grimm or Once Upon a Time

[Fast Learner]

After two episodes of each I'm in pretty close to the "neither" camp.

Grimm's pro is a potentially interesting world that could include some pretty neat concepts. Its cons includes lousy writing, poor directing, and an obviously low budget.

Once Upon a Time's pros include good writing, acting, and directing, and an obviously big budget. Its cons include a Lost-like storyline where season after season will require there to be no resolution to the curse. That and the fact that I find it surprisingly uninteresting.

I'll still give both a couple more episodes but am surprisingly underwhelmed, especially for someone who should like this kind of show.

I've said all this already.

I haven't read all four pages worth of comments, but I tend to doubt that anyone posted something akin to "and here's Felon's take on these shows!", as that would be presumptuous. You may have offered your own assessment, and you may find our opinions to be in agreement, but unless I've mimicked your comments verbatim, what of it? Do you think that once you've posted your thoughts, that pre-empts others from posting any similar sentiments?

Pretty much.

 

[Janx]

Pretty much.

That's pretty rude. Especially on a public forum where everyone is welcome to discuss.

I would also think that seeing other people post similar thoughts REINFORCES your point. What better way to stoke your ego than to see that other people said the same thing and YOU said it FIRST.

Otherwise, when it's just the kzach show, it's just kzach. And you might as well not hit the submit button.

Where would the fun be in that?

 

[Felon]

Pretty much.

Then I concede you this: at such a time when you are granted the authority that you feel entitled to, then that will surely be a fine day. Be sure to drop me a line so I may prove accomodating. In the meantime, you'll simply have to suffer that sometimes others will freely voice sentiments that are in concert with yours, and to your remark of "I've already said that" they will say "well, you didn't say that on my behalf". And for my part I will personally toss something along the lines of "nor did you express that opinion with the distinctive wit, insight, and panache that I provide in spades".

Well, there are those on the internet who only seek adversaries, not allies. Then again, Kzach recently XP'ed for me in another thread for adopting a similar stance on a topic, so I suppose affability is tolerted at least on occasion.

So... what you're saying is... that I'm a witless, ignoramus who lacks style?

Complex, aren't I.

I recorded and watched two episodes of Once Upon a Time.

Once Upon a Time seems more like Lost, or like it is trying to be Lost-like.

Grimm seems to me a sort of cross between Millennium and Brimstone.


To me Once Upon a Time is more of a show geared towards women, and Grimm more towards men. That's my best personal assessment, OUAT is sort of like a Lost for women.

I'll tape a couple of more episodes going forward, and don't think of it as either/or, but suspect Grimm will interest me more.

Somewhere, in the deep, dark recesses of my psyche, I've always known that I was misunderstood.

More like this: you are acting like a jerk, so I'm booting you from this thread.
